Michigan Bye Week Redux on The Victors Weekly

The Victors Weekly – Bye Week Edition Part of the Maize & Blue Review network, hosted by Trevor McCue and Nick Costen.

This week on The Victors Weekly, we’re taking advantage of the bye to step back and look at three key programs shaping Michigan’s season narrative: Oklahoma, Michigan, and Nebraska.

Oklahoma: Michigan’s loss at OU is aging surprisingly well. We break down how Auburn — previously undefeated and 19th in SP+ — ran into a brick wall in Norman, and why Oklahoma’s trenches and pass rush tell us more about Michigan than you might think.

Michigan: Why Michigan’s win over Nebraska was a “pass/fail” test — and a pass. We revisit past seasons to show why style points don’t matter when you’re trending toward control on both sides of the line. Is this team on track to recapture its late-season dominance?

Nebraska: Time for a reality check. Matt Rhule’s presumed Year 3 leap hasn’t materialized. We dig into recruiting, off-field distractions, and what’s really behind the Cornhuskers’ continued struggles.

Why Watch: Get the smartest Michigan Football conversation anywhere — no hot takes, no fluff. Trevor and Nick bring deep data, context, and storytelling to the biggest topics in the Big Ten and beyond.
